French Bull ’60s-style tableware at W2

Posted on | Leave a comment

FB plate ring dinner

Previously only available by ordering through an American website (and paying the corresponding delivery fees) W2 are now selling French Bull's bright and colourful, '60s-inspired tableware on these shores. 

The products are designed by Jackie Shapiro who is one of the designers behind Tepper Jackson (we featured their Pop Art inspired passport holder at the start of year) and the products share the same bright colours and eye-catching graphics. This psychedelic style melamine plate is typical of their style and sells for just £8. 

The range also includes a similarly colourful platter for £20 and salad servers for £8.

Fika cups new at ISAK

Fika cups

Regular readers will know that we are massive fans of the Scandinavian retro stylings of ISAK, so a new product is always exciting. And here are the Fika cups: two small handle-less cups used for drinking or snacking, or just looking nice! 

The cups come in a set of two. One cup is decorated with a 'Familjen' design, featuring heads of people in a similar style to their Blossom and Bill range, and the other is covered in a 'Harvest' food-inspired design (which reminded me of some of the rediscovered 1950s designs we've featured from New House Textiles). 

Another great addition to the ISAK collection, they come in an attractive presentation box and cost £18 for the pair.

Alpine Meadow range from Next

Posted on | Leave a comment

Alpine dinner set

The naturally-inspired pattern on the mugs, dinner set and table runner in Next's Alpine Meadow range have a definite 1950s feel. 

The dinner set, shown above, is representative of the other products with its retro colouring and pattern. It's got a similar style to Miss Print's Dandelion mobile wallpaper or Sanderson's design through its skeletal depiction of the floral forms.

The set includes four dinner plates, four side plates and four bowls, all for £28. The other products are similarly reasonably priced and will all hopefully bring some of the freshness of a meadow into your home

Hedgerow Lewin

New to St Jude's gallery is this Hedgerow fabric designed by Angie Lewin. We've featured a umber of St Jude's fabrics before such as Alice Stevenson's Treehouse design or their Kensal Rise collaboration with Old Town. Like those two designs, Hedgerow has a very British retro aesthetic, using a 1950s-style depiction of natural forms.

Posted on | Leave a comment

Kiely-Rhododendron

We're obviously huge fans of Orla Kiely on this site and here's another wonderful new design: the multi rhododendron print bed linen. The bold retro floral pattern only arrived into stock yesterday and its colours would look great in a mid-century inspired bedroom, as shown in the image. 

The bedlinen is made from 100% cotton percale. Prices range from £49 for a single duvet cover up to £79 for a super king size double. Pillowcases begin at £23.50. If this isn't to your taste, check out the Orla Kiely website to view one of the other designs, including the Car Park print (pictured over the page).

By Graziela limited edition heart cushions and fabric

Posted on | Leave a comment

Love heart cushions

Give a little love this Christmas with this limited re-issue of By Graziela's heart pattern. Regular readers will know what fans we are of Graziela Preiser's colourful designs. This heart pattern dates from 1976 and looks as appealing as it must have done back then. It's being sold as cushions or, for the more craftily minded, as fabric in bright pink, red or orange colourways. 

The cushions are for sale for £34 each while the fabric costs £21 per metre. But if you're interested you need to hurry as only 150 metres of each colour have been printed.
